Five thousand blackbirds in Arkansas. One hundred pelicans near Jacksonville, North Carolina. Three hundred doves in Italy. Seventy bats in Tucson, Arizona. Thousands of fish in Australia, New Zealand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Brazil and the United States.

As for connecting dots, the blog suggests that the map on Google could be laid on top of a "current global oil exploration map to test the hypothesis that the deaths could have been caused by ground-penetrating tomography."

In any case, it seems level heads are prevailing for now - at least until scads of humans succumb to spontaneous combustion.

‚ÄúUntil the sky turns red and there‚Äôs a plague of locusts, this event is not that unusual,‚ÄĚ Sleeman said of the blackbirds.

Methane gas leaks caused through exploration, development, and transport. What do all the incident locations have in common? Gas mining or fuel development. Arkansas=Fayetteville Shale. Chesapeake Bay=Marcellus Shale. Louisiana=Haynesville Shale. Falkoping Sweden=Alum shale...These mass-kill events events have been occurring for some time, but only gain notoriety because of increased access to multiple information sources through the internet.

"Officials" don't want to cause a stink (heh) by telling the public the truth about that is happening in their community. The air they are breathing occasionally contains toxic clouds from the local gas operation. By the way, you can't see or smell the toxic gas...but the results are obvious. Birds falling dead out of the sky and thousands of fish washing up dead.

CNN reporters should be questioning the gas companies and the local government officials rather than spreading outrageous stories about the cause of recent events being fireworks and blunt trauma (a common result of falling to the ground from a great height). More importantly though, the public should be questioning the validity of reporting by CNN as well as other "trusted news sources" as to why the media is covering up these toxic hazards to the public!

There are no signs of poison in any of these birds that I have read. Seems pretty far fetched to think that an invisible cloud is floating around the world killing birds instantly without a trace of poison. However, this is still leaps and bounds more credible than fireworks. lol...fireworks.

This end of the world stuff is from small minds. This is what was said when volcanoes went off, when Tsunamis happened, and WW I was the end, then WW II, and then... the list goes on. The bottom line is that God is NOT killing animals to mark the end of the world. Rather there is a logical reason and sound scientific investigation will find the answer – even if we do not like it. The most deadly kill-off in history is and was the killing off of honey bees – and for those who do not understand the significance of that, killing off the worlds homey bees almost would certainly signal a mass kill-off of humans and a substantial amount of all other life on Earth (check it out). Who was to blame? Bayer corporation for placing into fertilizers major chemical elements that effectively poiosened the pollen that resulted in the bees deaths. But do not worry America, while your EPA, Chamber of Commerce and FDA still work for corporations that make massive profits off of death, just remember that it is all OK. Nothing is more king than your dollar. The elected officials sicken me. Go back to your trash TV and enjoy. It is all just a big reality show. ūüôā

How sad to God our creator, that His creation mocks Him. Man seeks a logical explanation for everything, that in itself should tell you something. Man fears what he cannot explain away in logic, but God in His mercy still gives us time to come to Him in love so that we shall be reconciled to Him. These are signs we are told to watch out for.

OIL SPILL! Hello? Birds eat fish. Most of the occurrences, according to the mass death map is on a water way or close to the BP spill site. Perhaps now all of the oceans bordering the Gulf have been contaminated?

What happened this year, that has never happened before? How about the worst oil spill in history. Did we seriously think that we could dump all of those pollutants into the ocean and there would be no long term fall out.
